April Announcements, Vol. 3

One more Autism Awareness Month announcement to slip in here!

Kyle’s Treehouse recently launched a new initiative for April’s Autism Awareness Month: Autism151, 150 stories of hope, strength and inspiration.  Autism151 focuses on the positive side of the autism experience by creating a single location where families can share stories of strength, inspiration and success with one another, giving them even more reasons to hope. Where does the name Autism151 come from?: 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with autism. Until now, there have been few resources for those living with autism to come together as a community to share ideas, resources and most importantly–success. Autism151 is about inspiring families with stories of success. It is a vital resource reminding families that they are not alone in their struggles and helping them celebrate their achievements. The campaign’s goal is to gather 150 inspirational stories by April 30, 2009 and post them online.

Kyle’s Treehouse and Autism151 are calling upon you to tell someone you know coping with autism to share their story of hope and join the movement at http://autism151.com/. There are wonderful stories of hope everywhere. Kyle’s Treehouse and Autism151′s goal is to bring them together in order to share them with each other and the world. So please visit http://autism151.com/, upload your video story and share it.

Visit. Upload. Share. Autism151

150 Stories. One Community of Hope.

    That doesn’t make sense. Why in the world would they call themselves Autism151 when they were trying to gather 250, not 151 stories?

  2. Natalie Says:

    The site is called Autism 151 because one in every 150 children are diagnosed with Autism. They want to gather 150 stories by April 30th and would love to keep adding hundreds and 1000′s stories of hope and joy.
